Before and After.

Plum tree out front looks fun to climb. High.

Please don't be broken!

Falling doesn't seem to feel as fun. Miraculously only scratches.

Same plum tree. Waiting to see blossoms. No this is not revenge, the chainsaw may be though.

Buds are a good sign.

Blossoms are even better!

Beautiful!

Wondering why so few neighbors have planted tulips.

Thanks to Harley and her "SuperBark" the culprit deer only ate a dozen and left the rest. For now. That's why Daffodils are so popular, deer hate them.

Remember this hugely overgrown bush? It (and many of its hideous neighboring bushes) now no longer blocks my view of the mountains.

Chainsaw man! I regret asking him to cut it down. Not because I liked the bush but because I forgot how prompt he is with his honeydo list. I should have asked him next week, after it bloomed and looked gorgeous in the yard for a few days. Oh well, I'm just glad to have it done!

What a sweet spot to play. Reminds me of the movie version of Where the Wild Things Are. Bonfire time, I think.
